Low-light images and AI technology to outdo yourself

Thanks to sophisticated AI-driven low-light image fusion in this price range, the Nokia 2.2 is able to capture photos in great detail even in tricky low-light conditions. The cameras capture multiple images simultaneously and, using advanced algorithms, create a single image with more light, more detail and less noise. HDR photography captures vivid colors with greater dynamic range with every shot. Makes photos stand out through Google Photos IA features such as Color Pop, to draw attention to the theme, Colourise, which allows monochromatic images to be converted to color, and Beautify, which enhances natural characteristics to achieve the best selfie.

In addition, users have access to the latest technological trends with “facial unlock” and Google Lens. The Nokia 2.2 is one of the first phones in this category to come equipped with a biometric facial unlock feature, which allows you to effortlessly unlock your device. And compared to other phones in this price range, the advanced AI-powered facial unlock system uses vivid learning and detection algorithms to get an accurate and tamper-proof experience. Google Lens lets you search for what you see. So when you see a product you like, just point the camera lens to see how you can buy it, or direct the camera to an album to discover a new song and stream it through music services like Spotify.

The Nokia 2.2 also delivers the latest design trends, with an edge-to-edge display with a modern, unobtrusive selfie-notch, maximizing the screen surface while maintaining a pocket-sized format. The 5.71” edge-to-edge HD display offers a large screen while ensuring the Nokia 2.2 is compact for one-handed use. The screen, with a brightness of 400nits, allows for a more vibrant viewing experience. All of this is powered by a four-core MediaTek A22 chipset, which is designed to offer battery optimization so that the phone’s battery lasts a full day.

The Nokia 2.2 gives users the opportunity to express themselves, bringing back the style of a personalized smartphone with removable Nokia Xpress cases. The covers use the same nano-coating technology to deliver a premium glossy look in a range of vivid colours. Nokia Xpress-on cases are easily changeable in seconds and are available in Sand Pink, Ice Blue and Wood Green.
